Which of the following flowmeters is situated nearest to the gas outlet?
Explanation
ExplanationThe oxygen flowmeter is situated nearest to the gas outlet. This is because, if a leak develops in the flowmeter tubes, a hypoxic gas mixture can be delivered to the patient. To minimize this, the oxygen flowmeter is positioned downstream and nearest to the gas outlet.
